Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
The goal of this observation study is to assess whether endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography (EUS-SWE) may be a useful tool for liver fibrosis screening in patients with elevated body mass index and non alcoholic fatty liver disease as compared to other non-invasive screening modalities, which have traditionally had less …
Noninvasive Brain Stimulation for Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of tDCS in combination with TUS for the treatment of pain in subjects with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a decrease in pain levels with active stimulation, when compared to sham stimulation.
Decompression Versus Decompression and Fusion
Adjacent segment disease (ASD) in the lumbar spine is a well-known sequela of lumbar fusion surgery. The annual incidence of adjacent level re-operation is approximately 3% with a ten-year prevalence of 20-30%. Frequently, the surgical treatment involves decompression of the adjacent level coupled with extension of the instrumentation and fusion. …
Genetic Studies of Strabismus, Nystagmus, and Associated Disorders
Strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) often runs in families. In this study, the investigators are looking for genetic variants associated with strabismus and nystagmus. Three types of subects will be enrolled: (1) Families with at least 3 members with strabismus, (2) individuals with infantile esotropia and their parents and siblings, …
Neutrophil Phenotypic Profiling and Organ Injury Assessment in Patients With Sepsis
In this research study we want to learn more about the character of neutrophils that are present in the blood of children with sepsis. Sepsis is a severe type of infection, affecting various parts of the body. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that are part of the …
MCT for the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center
The goal of the Molecular Characterization Trial (MCT) is to obtain biological specimens and data resources from patients enrolled on prospective trials, to ensure that the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center accomplishes its key objective of advancing our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie how radiation treats tumors but also can …
Brain Health With Inner Engineering Meditation
This study will explore whether a 21-minute meditation practice called Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya leads to changes in brain health and explore how it affects cognitive and physiological function.
A Study to Assess the Effects of ACI-24.060 in Alzheimer's Disease and in Down Syndrome (ABATE Study)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamic effects of ACI-24.060 in subjects with prodromal Alzheimer's disease and in non-demented adults with Down syndrome.
Facilitation of Extinction Retention and Reconsolidation Blockade in PTSD
Purpose: About 6.4% of the U.S. population suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma-focused psychotherapies are generally effective in PTSD, but responses vary greatly across individuals and PTSD subpopulations. Neurobiological factors impacted by life experiences, stress, and genetics can affect treatment responses. These factors can alter brain capacities needed to …
A Pilot of a Microdevice For In Situ Candidate Drug Screening in Cutaneous Lesions of T-Cell Lymphoma
This research is being done to study the safety of implanting and retrieving a microdevice that releases up to 19 drugs directly within a cancerous lesion as a possible tool to evaluate the effectiveness of several approved cancer drugs against cutaneous T cell lymphoma and peripheral T cell lymphoma
